PEN AND DIGITAL INK CAPABILITIES IN WINDOWS VISTA
Microsoft Windows Vista provides extensive support for pen and touch input. When using Bamboo with a
computer running Windows Vista, your experience is enhanced by powerful note taking, handwriting
recognition, fast navigation, and other digital inking options designed to give you quick, intuitive results with
the Bamboo pen.
•
Note taking.
Use your Bamboo pen to jot notes and capture quick sketches in Microsoft Journal.
Journal simulates a physical notebook, but with the advantages of digital note taking – you can choose
from a variety of pen, marker, and highlighter tools, plus an eraser that is easily activated by the eraser
end of your Bamboo pen. Journal also includes a powerful search engine that can even locate your
handwritten content.

Because Windows Vista includes powerful handwriting recognition
capabilities, you can use your Bamboo pen to quickly enter handwritten information anywhere the
computer accepts typed input. You can convert your handwritten content to typed text at any time.

Gestures.
Use your Bamboo pen to make simple gestural movements on the tablet to trigger
